dreds of petitions presented in the house on
the temperance question only one had
asked for high license. All the others
asked for prohibition. The speaker alluded
to the Minnesota club of st. Paul. He
said this club paid no license. But LIQUOR
was bought by the club and sold to the
members, who reclined on Persian divans
and drank their grog from cut glass. These
rich men go free and the poor men are
asked to pay $1,000 for selling beer and
wine.
A vote was then taken on Mr.. Rogers
amendment to insert $500 instead OF 81. 900,
and it was defeated by vote of 50 nays to
43 yeas. as follows:

Next in order was the vote on the bill as
1t came from the committee. Mr.. Lucas
made speech in opposition to $1,000 IL
cense in explaining his vote. Buffum
favored 1t and resented any imputation that
had been cast OH the temperance committee.
Hendrickson opposed the 81, 900 clause, es-
pecially as regarded light wines and beer
He considered these food products. Newell
wanted a conservative license, but would
vote for $1,000 rather than go to low Ii
cense. He said he tasted his first cham
payne last week and that more than two to
one OF the workrnen i'll the Manitoba shops
favored a 81, 600 license.
EXEMPT THE SEVENTH WARD.
Mr. Hendrickson moved to exempt the
Seventh ward of the city of st. Paul from
the effect of the bill. This section had
been promised prohibition-that no liquor
should be sold within its boundaries-and
the passage of the high license bill would
repeal the provision by which this prohbi-
tion was secured. The motion to exempt
the Seventh ward was lost by vote of SIS
to 81.
Mr.. Powers offered an amendment pro-
viding that the moneys collected for licenses
be set apart for the following purposes: 25
per cent. to prosecute cases OF crime COM
mitted while under the influence of liquor:
% per cent. for the care and support of
the orphans of drunkards; 25 per cent. for
the poor and % per cent. for reading
rooms for young men. 1t was showed un-
der too deep for resurrection.
Mr.. Prosser demanded that the vote be
taken on the bill on its final passage and it
resulted, yeas 80. nays SO, as follows:
Yeas-Anderson, j. A, Baker, Barker,
Bennett, Bjorge, Brown. Buffum, Bunge. Jr.,

wood Smiths.
Jones, of Redwood. Gregory, of Wash
ingtOn. and Champlin. of Blue Earth, ex-
planned their votes.
Mr.. Gregory contended that the bill had
not passed. but was simply ordered to
third reading, but Mr. Donnelly overruled
him and the bill was declared adopted. A
motion to reconsider was made by Potter
and Prosser, simply to clnch the bill and
prevent motion to reconsider by its enc
mics. This was voted down and the last
nail was driven, and then the friends of the
bill were relieved of further suspense.
After the passage of resolution in
structing the engineer to examine into the
safety of the building the house adjourned.
